How to use a variable in place of ID in jquery

Question

I have a div in which id is generated with index like gal1,gal2,gal3,gal4....

var clickid=\"gal\" + index;
$(\'WANT TO PLACE clickid HERE\').click();
         


        

Answer 1

Like this:

$('#' + clickid).click();

Since it is an id, you need to prepend # to it so that jQuery is able to find it out. This is similar to CSS :)

For more info, have a look at:

• jQuery ID Selector

Answer 2

$("#" + clickid).click();
